Sir:
In response to your letter of July 25" you are advised that in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 38737, of Calvin Goodno , or Goodnough , N. H. Troops, it is not stated whether he had a daughter named Susannah.
Owing to the lack of a clerical force available for such a purpose, it is not practicable for this Bureau to examine the papers in the Revolutionary War pensions claims of the Goodenoughs of N. H. under the various spellings of that name in order to ascertain whether any of them had a daughter Susannah.
Very respectfully,
Hayo Haymaker
Chief Clerk.

The Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C. Sir:
I am very anxious to obtain information as to the parents of one Susannah Goodenough (born 1782, mar. Levi Jones, died 1864) whose father I believe served in the War of the Revolution. I have searched the records of the State of New Hampshire and find the following Goodenoughs on the War Rolls: Adino (whose daughter she was not), Calvin (I have search this only reason to believe she was his daughter), Daniel G -, Edmund, Nahum, David, Jonathan, Benjamin, Ebenezer, Levi, and Adonijah.
It has occurred to me that these names may be on the Pension Lists of Revolutionary soldiers and that their children may be listed. It will be a great favor if you can let me know whether on any of these lists the name of Susannah occurs, and if so will you kindly send me information as to her father's service? I shall be glad to pay any charges made by the department.
Thanking you for your courtesy and assistance, I am,
Very truly yours,
H. F. MacNair

Dear Sir
Calvin Goodno, of Addison County, Vermont was placed on the pension roll under the Law of March 1818, and stricken from it under the Act of 1820 on account of his property, but was subsequently restored. He applies for an act of Congress giving him the intermediate pension on the ground that, though he had in his hands a little property, he was indebted to its full amount. I wish to present his case on Monday next, and for that purpose desire a statement from you setting forth the time when, & the cause for which, he was stricken from the roll, the schedule of property furnished by him, with its valuation,

upon the ground of which his pension was suspended, the schedule of property finally furnished by him at the time of his restoration, and the date of such restoration.
Respectfully
Your obedient servant

Calvin Goodno.
That since the exhibition of my first schedule, the following changes have been made in my property: -
80 acres of land in Hancock - appraised at $1000.
Sold to Asa Goodno - 2 nd August 1820, for the nominal value of 400 dollars - in a debt due him of that amount.
2 Cows. Sold to Doct. Huntington - in the fall of 1820, - for 20 dollars, to discharge a debt due to him of Dr. Frank for medical aid & medicine.
1 Yearling Bull. Sold to Jesse Goodno, in the fall of 1820, for five dollars - to raise money to pay on a note for medical aid to Doct. Dodge.
1 Small Hog. Killed & consumed in family.
That when my son Asa Goodno arrived at the age of 21

years - in November 1813 - my health being feeble, and having much sickness in my family, I persuaded him to continue and work for me, and assist me in supporting my family - being wholly unable to do it alone - and hoping, with his assistance, to be able to raise enough from my land to pay him for his labour beside supporting my family. He accordingly continued to work for two years - at the end of which, my family continuing sick, we were scarcely able to support the family, without having the least prospect of making him any compensation; he therefore left me to provide for himself, having received no compensa- tion for his two years services. In the meantime I continu- ed to support myself & family; but being feeble, my family sick, and my land unproductive, I was unable to do it without assistance; and after the said Asa had worked for himself about a year & a half, I persuaded him to return, and agreed with him, that in consideration of what I owed him, for his past services, and that he would work for me I assist in supporting the family until his labour should amount to the value of the farm, I would give him a deed of it, unless I should otherwise be able to pay him. Accordingly he continued to labour alternately for me, as my necessities required, and for others for wages on his own account, until he had worked for me about a year & a half. After which it was understood by us, that he was intitled to a deed of the land. And in the meantime, he erected on said land out of the

avails of the wages he received of other persons, a barn, which cost him over one hundred dollars. But the execution of the deed was neglected until after my name was stricken from the pension list; when he considered himself unsafe, as well for what was due him for his labour, as for the barn erected on the land, and claimed a dower of the farm - which I gave him. The amount due for his services we estimated at $300, and the barn we estimated at $100. - The consideration of the deed was accordingly called $400. But, at that time, as I firmly believe, no person would have appraised the whole land and building as high as two hundred dollars.
Since the execution of the deed, the said Ara Goodno has gone into possession of said land with his family - and this deponent is left without any means of subsistence, but the charity of others. - That since my former schedule was presented my family has continued sick, and especially my wife, who alone is now left to depend on me, has been uniformly sick, and still continues unable to perform any labour.
Subscribed & sworn to before the court aforesaid the 4 th day of June 1853.
